Sumantri-Travel Experience article - Ulu Temburong Park - Brunei

Truly A kingdom of unexpected Treasures
By : Sumantri – Sheraton Utama Brunei Darussalam

A sun-washed jewel clenched between the South’s China Sea and North Borneo’s rainforest, the Sultanate of Brunei Darussalam exudes the color and mystique. Bordered by the Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak to the east and west respectively and Kalimantan, Indonesia to the south. Indeed, the word “Borneo “is an adaptation of the name “Brunei “by which entire island was once known.

My name’s Sumantri, Indonesian work with Sheraton Utama Brunei Darussalam, my wife Amirah is Malaysian and Arnold is Dutch he is trainees at Sheraton Utama Brunei Darussalam, three of us as a foreigner have great opportunity to explore Brunei by visiting Ulu Temburung Park.

Completed with mosquito repellent, comfortable appropriate cloths and shoes, drinking water, extra cloths, sun block, ID include sandwich for our lunch and not forgotten the camera our journey started as early as 6.00 am in the morning drive from the Sheraton Utama Hotel to Jetty at Jalan Residency, Bandar Seri Begawan which take 5 minutes, than continue to BANGAR by boat takes about 45 minutes along nipah palm and mangrove-lined estuaries, narrow winding creeks and through open water and reaching the Ulu Temburung National Park can involve up to two and half hours of pushing and pulling a long boat over a series of 23 upriver rapids. But aside from sheer beauty of site, its fantastic experience of just one entomologist who found over 400 species of beetle on a single tree in that area. After registered our name at the Ulu Temburong Park authority continue to the very Challenging journey. Well Physically and mentally is compulsory for this trip. All feelings combined together when we start step in to wooden walkway of this rainforest, exiting, scary, tiring, extra careful, wondering.

Ulu Temburong National Park occupies approximately 50.000ha of the Batu Apoi Forest Reserve. The park’s locality and steep, swampy terrain have limited human impact on the area and helped preserve its rich biodiversity. There are established forest trails through the park include 7 km of wooden walkways. A canopy walkway affords us a wonderful opportunity to observe the rainforest surprisingly diverse treetop ecosystem. We scream, we laugh, we share the joys, we succeed, we proud we celebrate and we wonder how wonderful this forest is truly a kingdom of unexpected Treasures

Padang West Sumatra-Indonesia
by Sumantri

After from Lake Toba our journey continue to Padang, West Sumatra - Indonesia takes 28 hours by bus very long journey and tiring. We spent 2 days and explore the whole cityn and not forgottent to eat original nasi padang

Padang - WEST SUMATRA
The land of the Minangkabau, West Sumatra has a distinct culture which distinguishes it from the rest of the island. A land of scenic beauty with blue green lakes and mountains, West Sumatra's Centre of culture and tourism is Bukittinggi in the highlands, north of the provincial capital of Padang.
Most prominent in the landscape is the horn-shaped roofs of the houses nestled in the coconut groves.
The name Minangkabau means triumphant buffalo. It leads a community and family life based on a matrilineal system which clusters around mosques and the traditional adat houses. As it is the women who own the properties, the men are known for their wanderlust and entrepreneurship. Traveling is considered a mark of success and therefore many of them are found "merantau" (emigrated) to other parts of the country. Proof of this is the many Minang or Padang restaurants, serving very spicy food, found in all major towns in the nation. The people are hospitable and eloquent in a poetic style of speech and ceremonies. Festivals are colorful occasions.
